They go aboutfrom day to day in their miserablecondition, apparently trusting to Providence to aid them -in some way.Xothing could be worse. The firsteymptom of disease should arouse thevictim to action, like an alarm of fire,or the warning of a great flood. Thesame human impulse that causes people to heed these warnings, shouldstir them to the sense of impendingdanger when Nature warns that disease has set about its ravages in thehuman system., Ko one is more considerate than Nature. Her warnings of impending disease and illness come far enough inadvance so that the menacing troublesmay be checked before they take inroads into the health. It is Just lquestion of employing the proper medicine. The first warnings of disease areusually given by aches or pains hereand there in the various parts of thebody. A. general weakness emanciat Ion, or lack of vitality may the--; .--hapsensue. The appetite dwindles;constipation sets in, usually leading tosome of the many forms of stomachdisorder. The blood becomes impovIshed and fails to nourish properly thenerve tissues, or give the required aidto the liver, bowels, kidney or blad-der, thus rendering them powerless tofunction properly. "With these conditions neglected, the. whole system isleft open to the ravages of mahy organic diseases that permanently impair and ruin the health.At the first warning of sicknessa dependable medicine should beused. There is nothing better thanDreco, the herbal medicine for treatment Of such conditions. Dreco worksalong common sense lines and combaNature's ills and Nature's way. Itsmission is to go. Immediately to thesource of trouble, and tends first tostimulate the appetite' and thus aiddigestion. - This results in the makingt good rich red blood, capable ofcleansing the system of poisonous impurities. "With an abundance of pureblood coursing through the body,the vital organs are nourished andthe tissues revitalized, thus causingthe liver, bowels, kidneys, nerves andOther vitals to function normally andthrow off diseases.The success of Dreco is trulystartling. Its record of achievement,in some Instances, has bordered onthe miraculous, say number of menand women who have used it. Everyclaim made for this wonderful herbalmedicine is backed by hundreds ofsigned statements from grateful people in al lsections who tell in theirown words what It has accomplished"for them. Many say that Dreco jjsvethem permanent and lasting resultsafter many other medicines had failedto benefit in the least. A large number of these enthusiastic statementshave come from "people right in thissection. Some of them may be nearneighbors of yours people you can seemost any day and judge for yourself if what they say is true.My Troubles are Much Better Now.Mrs. Bertha Bailey suffered severe-ly with rheumatism and its accompanying disorders such as pains In theback, loss of sleep, nervousness, headaches and constipation."I could always tell 24 hours aheadCANDIDATE FOR GRADUATIONFLORIDA STATEThe following invitation have been received: .The Board of Control, The FacultyandThe Senior Classof theFlorida State College for Womenrequest the honor of your presenceat theCommencement Exerciseson the fourth of JuneNineeetn Hundred and Nineteenat ten o'clock, A.

"W. Sharp tried many things without satisfactory results until one dayhis attention was called to Dreco, thewonderful new herbal medicine. Hetook one bottle of Dreco and this iswhat he says : 7"My kidneys were in an awful shape,urine dark and smelled offensive. Myback hurt all the time."One bottle of Dreco has relievedthis pain and the urine is again ofnormal color and regular. I am buying three more bottles and think theywill cure me. This is but one of manystatements received from prominentmen andwomen in all walks of life,fin every position in society. In everycase they all men and women allkexpress pleasure and amazement atthe wonderfully quick and lasting action of Dreco.If you have any kidney trouble, nomatter how slight it seems, spots before your eyes, nervousness, - sickheadache, rheumatic twinges, constipation or stomachtrouble, now is thetime to start taking Dreco.Could Eat Four Meals a Day."When I began taking Dreco I wasin an awful condition, my stomachwould ache, swell up and get hard, andno one knows what I suffered. I wasalways belching gas; headaches oftenworried me and Iwas habitually constipated. I often had dizzy spells andspots would float before the eyes, andmy tongue was coated and thick."I am sixty-three years old and hadbegun to think there was nothing aman of my age could do to get relief,for I had tried lots of things. Myparents always believed in the rootand herb medicines, so I was borughtup believing in the malso. When Iread about Dreco I decided to givethis medicine a trial, and believe me,or not, it helped me right from, thestart.

Vision was restored last year to the Dnnd eyes of 10,000 men, women and cnildren In nonChristian lands by meaical missionariesof American Protestant cnurches, according to .Fred B. Fisher of the Centenary of the Methodist Episcopal church.This single fact gives an idea of thegreat scope of the work ty the Americanphysicians connected with missions inheathen lands. The memcal missionaryIs soon overrun with patients. His famespreads. Frienda or relatives often carrya sick person many days to reach him.He is called upon ta perrorm difficultoperations under primitive conditions.In parts of Africa,- for Instance, missionary surgeons have to treat a surprising number of natives who have beenscalped. The scalping is done, not inAmerican redskin style, eut by wild animals in the Jungle. Children are frequentsufferers. Where the entire scalp hasbeen torn away, a satisfactory scar tissueforms after the wound has been dressedproperly and t;?e necesary sanitary precautions enforced.Dr. John G. Vaughn, formerly a medicalmissionary in China, and now at the headof all the medical missionaries of theMethodist Episcopal church, paints astriking picture of the veneration andawe caused by the white doctor in theEast. '"Two relatives of a blind man in Chinaoften will turn over nam boo couch,place a cushion on the ftottom and carrythe sufferer for a week to reach the medical messlonary," he said. "We allawthe relatives to stand at the door of theoperating room. This is to conquer theirsuperstitions. . ' " " ""Then comes the wonder of the anaes-'thetlc, the sleeping medicine. We hearthem, talking excitedly among themselvesover the fact that wo are . cutting thepattern: and he does not reel pain. They,are at his bedside when he recovers consciousness.

I am sorry to saywe have not the facilities to take , advantage of such opportunities. : An evangelist, sent back with a patient who hasbeen curwj could acomplish much Inweaning the people from their ;gradingsuperstitions . and prejudices, but wehave not. the men to send out.

The white physician evidently is crazy. No medicine?and stay in the open air? Evidently thewhite man is not interested tn the case.: "You see, the Chinese believe the evilspirits that cause disease dwell In thewinds.

Theseyoung men must not only have adequateprofessional attainments, but show a goadphysique. They are inoculated for typhoid before going overseas. As a resultof the Centenary movement to raiseJ105.000.000 for uplift work at home andabroad, the number of Methodist medicalmissionaries will be greatly increase.New hospitals, clinics, dispensaries andsanitoriums will be esiaollshed in manylands.The work s done in conectien ,with regular mission activities, but the savingof the soul is never allowed to interferewith, the saving of the body.

Nowak describes the episode of the ultimatum toSerbia as follows:"The ministers were summoned to Ballhausplatz (foreign office). Von Hoetzendorf, then chief of the general staff,, washurriedly recalled from Tyrol here hewas on leave granted him after the Sarajevo assassination. Count von Berchtoldwho conducted the deliberations consulted the general in purely military matters.His opinion was sought only in connectionwith the military prospects. The diplomatic situation was not mentioned norwas any. reference made either to theSerbian ultimatum or to any other ultimatum. "Von Hoetzendorf frankly analyzedevery possible hostile constellation anddid not conceal his conviction that tneAustro-Hungarian monarchy was unequalto the demands of war on three" fronts.He referred to similar views previouslyexpressed ip the preceding years. Inwhich he had pointed out exactly sucncomplications and entered upon minuteconsideration of " every emergency growing out -of a possible international clash."Count von Berchtold asked him whether the prospects for the monarchy wouldImprove in the course of the next fewyears. -Von Hoetzendorr spoke of Hungarian opposition to huge armamentcredits and the speed with which othernations were arming, lie declared thathe would be ' guilty of lying if he saidthe chances of the monarchy latex wouldbe more auspicious. On the contrary, liebelieved they were bound to grow worsein face of the prevalent disinclination togrant war credits and the growing nationalistic propaganda. His advice represented the frank judgment of a military expert given solely 'in reply to theminister's demand. Count von Berchtoldsought no further information and theconference disbanded.."For a decisive conference on the ultimatum the ministers were summonedthree dvvs- later to Count von Berchtold'sresidence. Emperor Francis Joseph wasnot present, but Count Tisza, the Hungarian premier, Count von Ttuergk, theAustrian premier, Marshal von Hoetzendorf Minister of War Korbatin and onenaval expert ; were present. Count vonBerchtold again conduc:ad the deliberations. Two ministerial officials ' werecalled in to assist in the technicalities crdrafting the - note . Von Berchtold readthe ultimatum.
